thanks for the instructions, my engine went from top speed of 120rpm to 740 with this modification!

[brainylegoman97]

Hi there. you are doing a great job. I built the engine on your page except I couldn't figure out how to open the switches.could you please try to make a video of how to do that?I would greatly appreciate it. thank you.

@brainylegoman97 Hi, I have made a video and a web page about modifying switches. Check my website.

what lego sets have these in them?

[TheAxel4444]

@lego5engineer "you can buy them in lego service"

[aaronlittell]

@lego5engineer 8049 has two cylinders, two switches, and seven hoses. its a good set, lots of technic pieces for only $60

[reviathon360]

id did this, and air comes out through the top, is that normal?

[techbricks]

No, I am sorry for you, but that ain't normal. I modified many cylinders and I never had a failure.

[reviathon360]

thanks

[ATITANIC1992]

i did that too, it is failure.

I would suggest using 1.6mm only, to be on the safe side.
